No.  Accepted means delivered to the end-user's mailbox.

As an analogy: I do not believe the postal system requires
acknowledgement of every single letter that ends up being delivered.
If you want delivery notification, you need to pay more for it.  In the
electronic world, if you want to be sure you've made contact with someone,
you call them up.

That is not how SMTP was designed.  But that is today's reality and it's
tilting at windmills to fight it.
